Cat Planet Cuties is an anime television series based on a series of light novels written by Okina Kamino. Originally released in Japan under the title Asobi_ni_ikuyo! (translated as Let's go play!) with the English title Asobi ni Ikuyo: Bombshells from the Sky, when licensed for US distribution by Funimation it was retitled Cat Planet Cuties.

The following weapons were used in the television series Cat Planet Cuties:

Browning Hi-Power

Glock 30

Glock 30s are seen on a number of occasions in the background but never used.

Glock 30 - .45 ACP

A Glock 30 can be seen in Minami's weapon collection in her apartment in episode 1.

A number of Glock 30s can be seen in the background at the black market gun shop in episode 6.

Beretta 92FS

A Beretta 92FS is one of the many pistols Manami has in her collection, and several of the terrorists are seen with the Beretta 92FS as well.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm.

Circled is a standard Beretta 92FS in Manami's collection in episode 1. Above it appears to be another Beretta, with same slight differences to the standard 92FS

Several members of the "Beautiful Contact" extremist group can be seen with Beretta 92FSs in episode 1.

Another shot of Manami's Beretta 92FS, from episode 2.

Several 92FSs can be seen in the background at the black market gun dealer's in episode 5.

Manami has a number of Berettas in here virtual arsenal in episode 6. Circled in green are standard 92FS models, whereas those circled in blue appear to be fitted with a compensator.

A Beretta 92FS is used by someone in episode 7 in an attempt to defend them from a Dogisian Assist-a-roid.

Beretta 93R

A Beretta 93R is detailed on a poster in Minami's house. Aoi also takes a Beretta 93R when she goes to live at Kio's place later giving it to Manami who then on uses it as her preferred sidearm. The shape of the compensator holes suggests that a KSC M93R was used for reference when the series was animated.

Beretta 93R - 9x19mm

Manami's Beretta 93R poster is visible in the background in episode 1.

Ruger Super Blackhawk

A Super Blackhawk can partially be seen in Minami's gun collection in episode 1.

In Minami's virtual armoury in episode 6, a number of Super Blackhawks are present. They are distinguished from regular Blackhawks by their squared trigger guard and longer barrel.

Smith & Wesson Model 500

Aoi suddenly "apports" a Smith & Wesson Model 500 and aims it at her driver when he makes some snide comment about her relationship with Kio in episode 1. Note Aoi did fire the weapon inside the car. The sound alone would have made both her and the driver deaf.

A closeup of the frame of the revolver just after Aoi "apports" it to herself.

Aoi points the gun at her driver.

A closer view of the revolver.

Smith & Wesson Model 629 Performance Centre

Jack has a modified revolver that fires tranquillizer rounds, which appears to be based off of a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Performance Centre. It has either a 4 or 5 inch barrel, and is possibly the V-Comp model with out the removable compensator.

Smith & Wesson Performance Centre "Stealth Hunter" - .44 Magnum

Jack firing her revolver in episode 2.

From this front view it is clear that the barrel of the revolver does not come from the bottom of the cylinder, so it is not a model of Mateba Autorevolver as previously suggested.

A number of possible Model 629 Performance Centres are visible in the gun dealers in episode 5, in both stainless steel and black finishes.

Smith & Wesson Model 586

Yuichi has a modified Smith & Wesson Model 686 with a 2.5" barrel that fires tranquillizer rounds, which he purposely gives this to Kio during Eris' rescue in episode 2.

Smith & Wesson Model 586 2.5" Barrel - .357 Magnum

Kio is handed the model 586.

Kio points the 586 at the "Beautiful Contact" members to elicit their help.

Glock 18

Aoi fires her Glock from a motorcycle as she approaches the train. In this show the selector switch on the rear of the frame is visible showing it to be a Glock 18

Aoi aims her Glock at the disarmed "Underside of the Kitten Paw" members. Here the under barrel rail identifying this as a 3rd generation model is visible.

Later in the episode, Aoi uses a Glock without the under barrel rail. Although it is possible that this is a different weapon, it is more likely an inconsistency in the artwork.

Beretta Cheetah

Jens carries a Beretta 80 series "Cheetah" in episode 5, which she resorts to after her power suit is disabled. It is unclear exactly which model this is, but it is an older version with the rounded trigger guard rather than the squared one of the FS version.

Brügger & Thomet MP-9

The MP-9 is first seen in episode 4, where it is used by cult members when attempting to kidnap Eris.

A cult member is disarmed by Aoi, dropping her MP-9

Cult members continue to use MP-9s in episode 5. Note that in this shot there is a drawing error, where the butt plate of the folded stock is cut off above the hand, but the bottom of the butt plate is still visible protruding from the bottom of the hand.

From episode 7, security members for the cult carry their MP-9s in skeleton thigh holsters when wearing civilian clothes.

Despite the fact that MP-9s are fitted with folding stocks, they are never unfolded by the cult members that use them and are most often shot one handed as well.

A cult member threatens an over zealous member of the film club with her MP-9.

Manami carries an MP-9 loaded with pseudo-disintegrator rounds as her primary weapon during her training Duel with Aoi in episode 8.

Unlike the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult members, Manami unfolds the stock on her MP-9 when firing it.

One of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult members fires an MP-9 from the back of a motorcycle in episode 12.

Sara and Maya using their MP-9s with stocks unfolded.

Ingram MAC-10

One of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult members in episode 5 uses a MAC-10 rather than the Brügger & Thomet MP-9 which is used by the majority of the armed cult members.

Ingram MAC-10 open bolt submachine gun - .45 ACP

Note that the cult member has not pulled back the bolt on her MAC-10, so in real life she would be unable to fire the weapon.

Assault Rifles

AK-47

AK-47s are first seen being used by the terrorists at the start of episode 1.

Aoi disabling an AK-47 armed terrorist.

One of the terrorists aims his AK-47 at Aoi, before being swiftly taken down.

Manami has an AK-47 in her weapons collection in episode 1.

A number of AK-47s can be seen in Manami's virtual armoury in episode 6.

Colt Model 723

A number of weapons that most closely resemble Colt Model 723s are seen throughout the series, used by the protagonists and military.

Colt Model 723 - 5.56x45mm.

Manami has a Colt Model 723 in her collection in episode 1. Note the circled area, which shows the receiver stamp reading "COLT M4A1". Due to the straight profile barrel and M16A1 type non detachable carry handle this cannot be the case

Colt Carbines are used by the soldiers guarding the airbase in episode 2.

Manami has a number of Colt Model 723s in her virtual armoury in episode 6. Note the presence of forward assist and shell deflector, meaning that this is not a Model 653 as previously suggested.

A military guard in episode 8 carries a weapon that resembles a Model 723.

Aoi takes cover with a Model 723 during her training duel with Manami in episode 8.

Aoi preparing to fire a pseudo-disintegrator round (Catian bullet that only damages non living matter) at Manami.

A close-up of the barrel of Aoi's Model 723, showing the straight profile barrel, as opposed to the step down barrel of an M4.

M16A1

M16A1 rifles are seen a number of times throughout the series. Although they are sometimes fitted with A2 handguards, the rear sights indicated these rifles to be A1s.

Aoi disabling a "Beautiful Contact" member who is carrying an M16A1 in episode 2.

An M16A1 can be seen on a table in the "Beautiful Contact" base of operations.

Manami readies her M16A1 rifle (Note the A1 shape forward assist). Manami remarks when asked if she can use it that it is the same as an MGC. This raises the possibility that all of the weapons in her collection in episode 1 are replicas/airsoft.

M16A1s are present in Manami's virtual armoury in episode 6. Although they are fitted with A2 handguards, they have A1 style carry handles and lack brass deflectors. Also, the centre M16 is fitted with an M203 grenade launcher.

Another pair of M16s as seen in Manami's armoury.

Steyr AUG A1

A Steyr AUG A1 is one of the numerous firearms in Manami's collection.

Steyr AUG - 5.56x45mm

From episode 2, a Steyr AUG A1 with black stock is briefly seen on a shelf in Manami's room.

FAMAS

FAMAS F1s are seen in te background in several episodes but are never used.

Heckler & Koch PSG-1

In episode 5, a PSG-1 is visible in the gun dealer's, resting on its bi-pod on a counter.

Another view of a PSG-1 in the gun dealer's. When the camera pans however (as shown in the right half of the frame) the middle of the weapon is briefly exposed from behind the mortar to show that the weapon is drawn without a pistol grip or magazine.

Manami has a pair of PSG-1s in her virtual armoury in episode 6. They appear to be fitted with wooden hand and cheek rests. Oddly however, the pistol grip (the one piece of the rifle that is actually wood) is plastic.

Although these weapons are fitted with PU 3.5x scopes, they lack the down-turned bolt handle of the actual sniper variant.

SVD Dragunov

A pair of human assassins hired by the Dogisian Jens use an SVD Dragunov in episode 8.

SVD Dragunov sniper rifle - 7.62x54mm R

The rifle is fitted with a NSPUM-2 IR sight, and has a black synthetic forearm similar to the SVD-M and a bi-pod clamped to the receiver.

The device mounted under the barrel is an IR laser.

Barrett M82

Barrett M82s are seen in several episodes, used by Aoi and members of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult.

Barrett M82A1 - .50 BMG

The M82A1 falling to Aoi's hand after she "apports" it to her in episode 10. In this shot, as the gun falls it can briefly be seen that the sight rail and scope have been omitted from the drawing.

Aoi takes up positing behind her M82. In this shot the rifle has a full length rail on the upper receiver, indicating it is an M107.

In the following shot however, the rifle is clearly an M82A1, lacking the full length rail.

Sara aims an M107 in episode 12, with her Assist-a-roid acting as her spotter. Note that it is not an error that she is right handed and aiming with her left eye, but a necessity due to the fact that she has a patch over her right eye.

Note the extremely large horizontal muzzle flash that is created by the muzzle brake of the M107.

A side view of the rifle showing how it is mounted in a human built Assist-a-roid. Note that in this shot the rifle has lost the full length top rail, appearing as an M82A1.

M2HBs are mounted on the Humvees used by the airbase security forces in episode 2.

M2HBs are mounted onto the commander cupolas of the Abrams tanks that respond to the airbase intrusion.

The "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult uses an M2HB mounted on a tripod in episode 4.

Aoi disables the gunner.

The machine gun rests on its tripod as the train escapes.

A side view of an Abrams with an M2HB mounted on the cupola in episode 12.

General Electric M134 Minigun

Manami requests, and receives, a hand-held GE M134 Minigun for her virtual armoury in episode 6.

Airsoft handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from Predator; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATO

The muzzle end of Manami's virtual Minigun.

Rightly, Manami cannot lift the weight of the Minigun.

note the joystick at the back of the weapon, similar to the Minigun shown above.

MG3

The "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult use MG3s mounted on motorcycle side cars in episode 7.

MG3 Machine Gun - 7.62x51mm NATO

This weapon can be identified as an MG3 rather than an MG42 by the design of the muzzle. Also, the sight mounted on top is the removable anti aircraft sight for an MG3.

A front view of the weapon showing that it is red from a 50 round circular drum.

MG34

An MG34 can briefly be seen in episode 11, mounted as the forward machine gun on a Tiger I tank.

MG34 - 7.92x57mm

A number of Assist-a-roids climb an a Tiger in order to scan it's technology to replicate it. The MG34 is visible in a ball mount on the front of the hull.

Mk 19

A Mk 19 can be seen on the Humvee that is disabled by a net around the wheel.

DefTech 37mm Launcher

On of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult members uses a DefTech 37mm launcher in episode 4. It is used to fire non-lethal rounds at Aoi, and appears to be of the folding stock variety with the stock removed. It is not a Milkor MGL as previously suggested, due to the length of the chambers, the design of the trigger guard and lower frame, and the absence of the release lever on the front of the chambers.

One of the cult members prepares to fire her Deftech at Aoi. It appears that this launcher is fitted with a different forward grip, similar to the one found on a Milkor MGL.

In this shot you can see the bottom of the frame of the gun, which matches that of the Deftech.

The whole of the launcher can only be briefly seen when the train is escaping. Note that from the length of the chambers, this cannot be a Milkor MGL.

Heavy Weapons

General Electric M61 Vulcan

A 20mm M61 Vulcan can be seen mounted on a JMSDF patrol boat, and as part of a General Dynamics/Raytheon Phalanx Close-In Weapon System on the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" ship.

GE M61Vulcan 20mm Cannon

Although never clearly shown, this multi barreled weapon in most likely supposed to be a JM61 (Japanese version of the M61) which is used in a turreted mounting resembling this by the JMSDF. Also, in dialogue it is referred to as a 20mm by the crew.

RPG-7

The RPG impacting the deck under the terrorist blows him into the sea.

Rheinmetall L44 M256

M1A1 Abrams MBTs are seen armed with 120mm Rheinmetall L44 M256 main guns in several episodes.

A number of M1A1s advance on the protagonists in episode 2.

An Abrams fires its main gun.

One of Eris' Assist-a-roids disintegrates an Abrams with its anti-matter hammer.

A squadron of NATO Abrams tanks advances at the end of episode 11.

An Abrams as seen in episode 12.

AGM-114 Hellfire

In episode 5 a Blackhawk helicopter fires a pair of AGM-114 Hellfires, that has been modified by the Catians to be cloaked in flight.

The Blackhawk in question is armed with 8 modified Hellfires in two quad launchers. The missiles have been cosmetically changed by colouring them red.

[[

Hellfires are also seen in episode 12, being fired from NATO AH64D Apache Longbows. Note that there is a drawing mistake in this shot, where the Hellfires mounted under the right wing are partly obscured by the fuselage as if they were mounted underneath the helicopter fuselage itself.

Unknown Mortar

An unidentified mortar can be seen in the gun dealer's in episode 5.

It is likely that this mortar is a complete fabrication, as the bipod appears too light for a real mortar.

Otobreda 76mm

The "Underside of the Kitten Paw" ship in episode 5 is armed with a number of 76mm Otobreda guns, in turreted mounts.

Otobreda 76mm in compact mount.

The turrets extend from under cowling when required.

The 76mm Otobredas open fire on an incoming ship.

A trio of Otobredas are mounted on the bow of the ship.

8.8cm KwK 36 L/56 guns

In episode 11 a number of Tiger I tanks are seen in storage, armed with 8.8cm KwK 36 L/56 guns. Why these are present at a decommissioned Soviet ballistic missile site is never explained.

A row of Tiger tanks can be seen armed with their KwK 36 guns.

A number of Assist-a-roids climb an a Tiger in order to scan it's technology to replicate it.

A miniaturised version of the gun is used by Catisian Assist-a-roids in episode 12, mounted on a miniature wind-up King Tiger tank.

M230 Chain Gun

A number of NATO AH64D Apache Longbows are seen in episode 12 armed with M230 Chain Guns.

Hughes/Alliant Techsystems M230 30mm Chain Gun

A side view of an Apache showing its chain gun.

Grenades

M84 stun grenade

M84 stun grenades are used in several episodes, where they are depicted as being capable of rendering someone unconscious.

The M84 flying through the air after spoon has detached.

The M84 detonates, with the explosion correctly emanating from the holes in the grenade body.

An M84 is also seen in episode 3. In this case the grenade is painted a single colour, rather than the more common variation of a lighter central band.
